RICH MNISI x Adidas Collection: everything you need to know

adidas has presented its debut line with South African contemporary fashion designer, RICH MNISI. The collection features multiple looks of beautiful, bold pieces that celebrate Rich Mnisi’s Tsonga heritage with pieces that support a range of sports.

The adidas x RICH MNISI collection is inspired by the designer’s Tsonga heritage with a clash of bright animal prints, and abstract patterns that unite to tell the story of his cultural roots.

The collection features 12 key looks of performance wear that support a range of sports, alongside streetwear silhouettes and iconic footwear styles redesigned with a bold print.

The drop is also rounded off with iconic adidas footwear lines including the classic Superstar, Ultra BOOST and Forum, which have been revived with Rich’s signature prints through a series of design accents portrayed throughout the collection.

Rich Mnisi, Designer, and collaborator for this collection said:

“I am immensely proud to present this collection in collaboration with adidas, an iconic brand that I grew up seeing on People of Color that were rewriting the arts. It has been a pleasure to bring my designs to classic pieces. We have created a bright, unique collection that reflects my love for the idea of community and heritage, individuality, and self-expression. Our aim was to create pieces that supports life on and off the sports field.
The spirit of this collection celebrates our homeland, so environment was an important aspect when looking at methods and materials used in the creation process. I am so pleased we’ve used adidas’ advanced technology and partly recycled materials.
I am truly excited for the world to see this collaboration come to life.”
